I changed the filter and now it takes it to 3000 35000 rpms before it will shift and it never use to do that even when the reverse went out and i found out that i was using atf for newer fords not older would that be a problem?

update on the Transmission issue I got the smoking to quit but got a new problem that wasn’t there before I did the filter change. I forgot to install the o rings when I first installed the new filter and then I don’t know what happen ever since that filter change I have had nothing but problems I have add the right amount of fluid and Now it doesn’t shift in to 2 until it is at 3,000 or 3,100 rpms but that is part time I don’t know what that means or how to fix it and I still don’t have reverse and I added the fluid for a new ford not for an old ford at first but not sure if that would have any effect on it and I might need to do a complete transmission flush but don’t know how or how many quarts to put back in I don’t want to screw anything up. I hope I can get some help with this issue.

[quote=”Tedybear315″ post=104555]The condition of the fluid can reveal much about the transmissions general health.
The A4LD is known for having A LOT of issues. The fact it’s got 200,000 miles on it? That’s actually far in excess of it’s expected lifespan before needing an overhaul.
The system also holds a total of 9-10 quarts. 3 qts if just doing the filter change out.
The bulk of the fluid is in the torque converter. The A4LD does not use a drain plug on the converter–so you’re stuck with about 6 quarts of old fluid mixing in with the new.
Needed info still remains:
Color of the fluid. Nice and red. Brown and smells burnt…..If you check the fluid does it look like it’s full of ‘bubbles’.
How did the filter look and the bottom of the pan? Some gray shading ‘garbage’ in the bottom of the pan is 100% normal. Any large chunks of metal or particle matter point towards a rebuild in the future.
As for smoking out the tube you fill it? That’s a new one. Are you sure it wasn’t smoking from the exhaust pipe and lofting upwards?
S-[/quote]it was black and i put three quarts in but the dipstick reads no fluid
